Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0293196A2] A continuously variable transmission has a torque converter (14) with a lockup clutch (19). A high pressure oil pump (70) is provided adjacent the transmission and a low pressure oil pump (72) is provided adjacent the torque converter. A line pressure control valve (100) is provided for controlling the pressure of oil supplied from the high pressure oil pump (70) to produce a line pressure for operating the transmission. A lockup control valve (170) operated by low pressure oil supplied from the low pressure oil pump (72) is provided for controlling the lockup clutch, and a solenoid operated valve (179) is provided to generate a converter condition pressure for operating the lockup control valve and thereby operating the lockup clutch. The converter condition pressure is applied to the line pressure control valve (100) to increase the line pressure.
